Current Surf Conditions

Trestles Lowers is seeing solid SSW swell lines building with some good push, though the wind is totally blown out and steady from the west, making conditions pretty messy. The tide is rising near mid-range, so waves have decent shape but the onshore blast will keep things bumpy. Water’s comfortable, but the wind will keep you on your toes if you paddle out.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

3.6 ft solid SSW swell at 17s, west wind 5-10 mph, rising tide near 2.4 ft, water temp 66°F, air temp 68°F.
